FUNDRAISING IDEAS
MISSION TRIPS
Service Work Camps are weeklong summer service experiences designed to help older adolescents understand the challenge of living out our Christian faith in the world today. Youth get the opportunity to tackle a variety of service projects, such as painting, yard work and new home constructionn as well as maintenance on existing homes. No experience with tools is necesary, simply a good attitude and a willingness to learn. Mixed in with the service aspect are inspirational programs, thoughtful devotions and social interactions with other Catholic youth from around the nation that will all serve to change your life! Catholic HEART Workcamp, Young Neighbors in Action and GROUP Workcamps are three wonderful programs that will help get you started on an exciting and fulfilling adventure!
